Phata Poster Nikla Hero

‘Phata
Poster Nikla Hero’ is a comedy cum action movie directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi
and produced by Ramesh Taurani. The lead casts of the movie are Shahid Kapoor
and Ileana D’Cruz. The movie is released on 20th September.

The
story line shows a young and aspiring actor Vishwas Rao (Shahid Kapoor) who
dreams of becoming an actor. His mother (Padmini Kolhapuri) is an auto rickshaw
driver and prays for her son to become a cop. Certain funny incidences take
place and people start perceiving him as a real cop. So an aspiring actor
becomes a fake cop. The humorous part of the movie begins when Vishwas Rao
fights goons but is extra cautious not to let his face get injured as he is an
aspiring actor. So the action sequences are quite funny and entertaining.

Kaajal
(Ileana D’Cruz) is a social worker whose motto in life is to file complaints
against bad people in the police station. Since she stands against politicians
and powerful people, policemen want to avoid her. She is so frequent to the
police station that policemen call her ‘Complaint Kaajal’. Unknowingly she
drags Vishwas in one of her complaints.

Vishwas
shares a warm bond with her mother. The bonding between mother-son duo is worth
watching. Since police and goons start believing Vishwas Rao to be an
inspector, what follows is a series of circuitous instances. Also mother and
son get into the crossfire between police and goons.

The
music of the movie is given by Pritam. The songs are penned down by Amitabh
Bhattacharya and Irshad Kamil. The song ‘Tu Mere Agal Bagal’ is a refreshing
number filmed at a construction site in the scorching weather of 45 degress.
Yet Shahid pulled it off sportingly. ‘Dhating Naach’ is filmed on Shahid and
Nargis Fakhri. The song is filmed on an extravagant set. It delivers the
essence. Says Nargis, “I love to dance and when this opportunity came my way, I
jumped at it. Also, Shahid is one of the best dancers in the industry, so how
could I not do it?”

Shahid
is at its acting best. He has proved that he has the guts to tickle the funny
bones. It was a new genre for Ileana. But she has also delivered a convincing
performance.

Overall,
a sweet and humorous movie. It can be a ‘stress buster’ over the weekend.
